Filter by:The aim of the study, planned in a randomized, pre-test, post-test, control group and single-blind research design, is to examine the effect of empowerment training given to inpatients diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) on the patients' self-efficacy, health locus of control and perception of nursing care quality. The population of the research will consist of patients (N=6000) diagnosed with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who are receiving inpatient treatment in any two chest diseases services of a training and research hospital (EAH) that provides tertiary healthcare services on the European side of Istanbul. Two pulmonology services will be selected by lottery among a total of 9 pulmonology services. Among two chest diseases services, patients will be randomly assigned, one in the experimental group and the other in the control group. Patients' data will be collected with the Introductory Information Form, COPD Information Survey, Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale, Multidimensional Health Locus of Control Scale Form A and Care Behavior Scale-24. The data of the study will be analyzed using descriptive tests, intergroup comparison tests and correlation analysis. Key Words: Patient, empowerment education, self-efficacy, health locus of control, nursing care quality.
Comparison of aerosol inhalation and intravenous glucocorticoid in the treatment of severe AECOPD-------Multicenter, prospective, randomized, controlled clinical study
The purpose of this study is to examine the implementation, intervention effectiveness, and dissemination of a digital acute care delivery model for improving selected health outcomes in the Hospital at Home population.
This cross-sectional study aims to investigate to the impairments in body functions and structures, activities and participation restrictions according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) framework in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) patients.
The long term goal is to improve quality of care in Veterans with serious illnesses by aligning medical care with Veterans' goals and values. The objective of this study is to use a sequentially randomized trial to determine what implementation strategies are effective to increase early, outpatient goals of care conversations. The study will use interviews with and surveys of medical providers, patients, and caregivers, along with medical record data. This work is significant because it tests ways Veterans can express their goals and preferences for life sustaining treatments and have them honored.
The Investigators plan a single center study to get preliminary data to answer a number of fundamental questions directly related to management of COPD. The research will determine whether ventilation heterogeneity and distribution of ventilation inform, determine, assist or drive the: 1) status or clinical course in patients with COPD, 2) understanding of factors associated with activities of daily living and quality of life in patients , 3) risk of exacerbation or hospitalization in those with COPD, and 4) predictors of therapeutic pathway or treatment regime.
APEX COPD is registry to provide a mechanism to standardize, store and utilize data to enable greater power to answer key research questions, and to improve patient outcomes in COPD primary care.
This study aims to establish the treatment scheme of Yiqi Huoxue Huatan granule for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with chronic respiratory failure (CRF), reducing mortality, improving quality of life and forming high quality evidence.
In this follow-up trial, MRI and CT images of the lung will be acquired prospectively in a subcohort of 370 patients, three years after they successfully participated in the first COSYCONET subtrial with CT and MRI ("MR-COPD I", NCT (clinical.Trials.gov identifier) 02629432). The objective is to obtain longitudinal data from a well-characterized collective of COPD patients in order to identify suitable image-based biomarkers to improve the prognosis of disease progression of COPD in comparison to clinical tests
Patients who are suffering from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) had a decreased level of physical activity which is consequentially related to another acute exacerbation event. In this study, we selected patients from those who were admitted for acute exacerbation of COPD, evaluated physical activity by accelerometer (wearable multisensory armband devices) to find out the correlation between physical activity in COPD acute exacerbation patients.
